KOTOBUKIYA MV-01 Ao Kiriyama & Blade Liger

The articulation points on the Blade Liger are incredibly smooth, making dynamic poses a breeze. Ao Kiriyama's sculpted details really pop once you get the panel lining done. Definitely a satisfying build that looks fantastic on the shelf.

Finally snapped this together last night – the way Ao Kiriyama’s hair flows into the Blade Liger’s mane is incredibly clean for a model kit. The pre-order wait was worth it for that seamless fit between the two figures.

The bishoujo styling is really unique and the Blade Liger looks great on the shelf once assembled. Took me a few hours to put together, but the parts fit well and the instructions were clear. Only wish the pre-order wait hadn't been quite so long.
